ThurMod - Thurstonian CFA and Thurstonian IRT Modeling

Fit Thurstonian forced-choice models (CFA (simple and factor) and IRT) in R. This package allows for the analysis of item response modeling (IRT) as well as confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in the Thurstonian framework. Currently, estimation can be performed by 'Mplus' and 'lavaan'. References: Brown & Maydeu-Olivares (2011) <doi:10.1177/0013164410375112>; Jansen, M. T., & Schulze, R. (in review).
